Ari Behn might technically not be a royal but his father in law is the King of Norway. Unfortunately there is no decency or dignity about him, absolutely no sense of how to deal with this relation.

Ari Behn thinks that he can do anything labelling it "freedom of an artist" but he is just cheap and embarrassing. ML is odd herself what is fine but what I dont like is that they always claim to be Mr and Mrs Behn but still live off their royal connections, promoting their questionable activities.

No announcement, windsorgirl. I personally just think she looks like she's gained a little weight recently, non-pregnancy related.

Duke of Marmalade, I totally agree with you. Martha (and Ari) look particularly bad in light of Harald's sisters and their families, who were always very discreet and never embarrassed the royal house (with the possible exception of that nasty interview Ragnhild gave a few years back. ) Especially Astrid, though - she was First Lady for the 14 years between her mother's death and Harald's marriage to Sonja and worked very hard for Norway, even though she didn't receive a dime from the government after her own marriage. A remarkably dedicated woman, who took on a lot of responsibility at 22 and carried on with the work of being royal even once she lost out on the perks.
